Are We Missing the Point about Sex?

On February 18th Ryan will be continuing the Are We Missing the Point? series with Are We Missing the Point about Sex? We'll explore why we rarely talk about sex in church except in hushed, shamed voices. Why does the church approach sex with shame? How does the Bible inform us about sex?

We're looking for ideas that will illustrate situations where someone is ashamed to talk about sex or positive examples of why we shouldn't be scared or ashamed to talk about sex.
